Boxford parties: what to know
Boxford is about 4 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. We cover parties in Boxford, along with the towns and villages around it. Boxford is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. You can also see our page for Reading, about 17 miles away.
Within reach of Boxford are historic houses such as Benham Park (2.5 miles south) and Shaw House (3.5 miles south-east).

The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Boxford, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

How our party hog roast works in Boxford
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and garden parties.
Country parties near Boxford suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Boxford
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Boxford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn parties in Boxford get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Planning help
For event organisers in Boxford
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
